There are just over three weeks to go until our Brussels conference, “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change.”
Co-organized with the Fondation Droit Animal, Éthique & Sciences (LFDA), the day-long gathering on Tuesday 18th November will take stock of the announcements made by the European Commission and the Member States in the context of the revision (“modernization”) of EU animal welfare legislation.
The speakers and panel members – who will include policymakers from the EU institutions, animal advocacy representatives, and academics – will propose solutions to ensure the announced modernization delivers optimal results for animals, including identifying convergence opportunities between animal protection and economic objectives, such as fair competition and economic efficiency.

The European Commission’s Vision 2040 for Fisheries and Aquaculture is out, and we’re happy to see a mention of animal welfare. The text says the Commission will “further develop the EU framework for the welfare of farmed aquatic animals across all stages of production, building on existing good husbandry practices, guidance and scientific knowledge.”
